Rigorous scientific testing, including isotope testing, has conclusively demonstrated that the high-level methane contamination of the Murrays water well resulted from natural gas drilling and extraction activities.

Nearly all living organisms on Earth have water-based structures around their cells called phospholipid bilayers. These keep water in (or out), and they shelter the insides of our cells from the rest of the world.

There has been five mass extinctions in our planets history due to either asteroid impacts, climate change caused by volcanism and the shifting of tectonic plates. The sixth mass extinction is being fueled by you and me.

A few days ago the "shocking" headlines came out, describing some new research on how much methane is now seeping out of the Arctic seafloor--a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide, but much shorter lived in the atmosphere--as the region warm

The blowout of BP's Macondo well didn't just spew some 5 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico last year. Lots of methane also whooshed out, some 500,000 tons in all, according to an estimate published last week. What happened to the methane?

The Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) is developing a technology to seal off carbon dioxide in seabed coalfields and convert it into natural gas, or methane, using microorganisms, according to the source.

Data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft reveals that Saturn's moon Titan has hundreds of times more liquid hydrocarbons than all the known oil and natural gas reserves on Earth.Hydrocarbons rain from the sky,collecting in vast deposits that form lakes & dunes
